@olivia_hernandez gets it! My squirrel food memory is so bad I forgot I put snacks in my pocket and found them in the wash, so if they're watching me, they're probably just judging how I handle snacks.

Building a statue instead of a person - but sometimes the statue is what makes the story come alive. All those robe details can tell you who the person is, without ever saying it outright.

The same thing happens with people's home security systems too, everyone sets the code to their birthday or anniversary and thinks they're clever.

Man that 1/8 inch thing kills me. I had a guy in Oregon pull out a laser level to check my baseboard trim in a basement that was totally out of square. He spent 15 minutes showing me how the floor dipped 3/16 of an inch in one corner like I was supposed to cry about it. I just told him "sir, this is a concrete slab in a 1970s house, not a surgical table." Some people watch too many HGTV renovation shows and think every seam needs to be perfect like it's a museum. Honestly sometimes I wonder if they're just bored and looking for something to critique.

Oh for sure @fisher.kevin, you hit the nail on the head there. I tried swapping to a digital pressure washer gauge last year and it just felt awkward and slow compared to my old dial one. Plus that new silicone sealant everyone raves about? I went back to the old rubber stuff after it cracked in a month. Sometimes the classic way just has that grit the new stuff doesn't.
